CHAPTER 10
Hostlaine
Hostlaine was a supra-physical world that hosted all those souls that had passed on from the physical world, but still had ties, like loved ones or children in the land of the living. Those souls remained in Hostlaine until all those it had ties with had passed on. It was only then that such a soul could move on.
From the moment the soul dropped the physical body, and the body was buried, the soul itself arrived in Hostlaine were a living home similar to the one they had before they passed on was provided by the Gulha Thama (mystical energy) that kept and sustained Hoslaine. The souls live as they would in their own home. The only deference was that they did not go to work.
Those souls lived and waited in the supra-physical world to give advice or guidance to their living relatives or friends that visits there to summon them when the need arises.
It should be noted that those who did not have any ties whatsoever did not live in Hostlaine. Instead, they moved on and were escorted to their place in heaven by Ti Gulha.
The gate way to the abode of Hostlaine was through a well that was a pool of eternal flowing fog that was housed by the Castle Hostlaine, which, like the royal castle, was the color of gray with a touch of black.
There were monks who had a higher connection with the energy of Ti Gulha who were trained by the priest of Hostlaine to communicate with the residents of Hostlaine and help visitors connect with them. The head of the monks was the priest of Hostlaine, Hegorson.
In other to convince Miciry, Ti Raja visited Hostlaine to speak with Miciry's late father, Burtcher.
The presence of the late general ArtchBurtcher and his late spouse in Hostlaine was a huge mystery to the priest and the monks of Hostlaine. Because, to the knowledge of all those concerned, the general and his love spouse did not have any children or strong ties with any living relative or friends before their demise. Therefore, ArtchBurtcher and his spouse were supposed to have moved on but instead, they ended up in the Hostlaine. The priest of Hostlaine and the monks believed that at the right time the mystery will be unraveled. So when the news of Miciry's escape from D' Wretched got to the priest and the monks, they realized that the reason General Burtcher and his love spouse ended in Hostlaine was Miciry, his son, a son he had after his demise.
Ti Raja Jicarge sent a message to Hegorson, the priest of Hostlaine, to prepare for his arrival. He also sent a message to his son, Yuva (prince) MHAHARANNI and the Priest of Gulha and the priestess of Ti Tula, as well as Coatahphann, the love spouse of Miciry, to halt all efforts to convince Miciry until midday the next day. Everyone agreed to Ti Raja's request.
At midday, Raja Jicarge made his way to Hostlaine while mentally preparing to meet his late friend Burtcher for the first time in almost thirty years.
The melancholy and the guilt Ti Raja felt was enough to make him want to turn back, but even he knew this meeting was long overdue. He needed to meet the one person who was not afraid to put him in his place, a person he loved and respected. It was high time Miciry met his father.
By the time Ti Raja had gathered all his thoughts together, he was at Hostlaine.
Hegorson, the priest of Hostlaine, was a black man dressed in a long, flowing, light brown robe tied at the waist with a belt. He escorted Ti Raja to the room, which housed the pool of eternal flowing fog in Hostlaine. There, the priest lifted the psychic shield that protected and guarded the fog filled pool, giving Jicarge access to use it, once the priest was done Jicarge imagined the image of his dear friend Burtcher and silently called his full name, once that was done the pool of energy started moving, generating more mystic fog. After that, the priest left Ti Raja alone, shutting the doors on his way out.
BURTCHER ARTCHMIGERD
The most pleasing experience for those departed souls in Hostlaine was the visitation of a family member or a friend.
Waiting in the supra physical had been very boring for Burtcher, since nobody visited him except Jicarge and even he had stopped coming to visit him for a long time now. The only thing he could do was ponder why.
He suddenly imagined all that may have gone wrong.
"I hope Ti Raja hasn't made a mess of the stability we created together "
Just as he was about to make himself a cup of tea, he disintegrated. That could only happen when one is being summoned. So he closed his eyes, and let go, as he ascended out of the pool. When he was finally out, he opened his eyes.
ArtchBurtcher was an eight feet tall, muscular black man, with a perpetual frown on his face. His frowning face tightened more when his earth brown eyes fell on Raja Jicarge Alhovos.
